 |
|
when I make menuconfig I get "make: *** No rule to make target `menuconfig'. Stop."
I tried some things with the help of Madtinkerer in a chat (thanks! Madtinkerer) but still no go.
| Code: |
bash-2.05b$ su
Password:
bash-2.05b# cd /
bash-2.05b# rm -rf /usr/src/linux
bash-2.05b# mkdir /usr/src/linux
bash-2.05b# chmod 755 /usr/src/linux
bash-2.05b# ln -sf /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r6 /usr/src/linux
bash-2.05b# pwd
/
bash-2.05b# cd /usr/src/linux
bash-2.05b# make menuconfig
make: *** No rule to make target `menuconfig'. Stop.
bash-2.05b# cd /usr/src/linux
bash-2.05b# ls -l
total 0

I think this is your problem. Do | Code: | cd /usr/src
rm -r(f) linux
ln -s linux-<your desired kernel> linux
cd linux
make menuconfig |
and start configure to your heart's desire. /usr/src/linux should be the link to your kernel sources, not contain the link.

Try:
| Code: | emerge unmerge gentoo-sources
rm /usr/src/linux
rm -r /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r6
emerge -k gentoo-sources
cd /usr/src/linux
make menucofnig
|
Should work now. Also, if you have any other kernel sources in /usr/src/, I usually unmerge them to keep it clean. |
